Answer:
C. 2.5 A
Explanation:
Transformer: A transformer is an electromechanical device that is used to change the voltage of an alternating current.
The current and the number of loops in a transformer is related as shown below
Ns/Np = Ip/Is........................... Equation 1
Where Ns = Secondary loop, Np = primary loop, Ip = primary current, Is = secondary current.
Making Is the subject of the equation
Is = NpIp/Ns........................ Equation 2
Given: Np = 10 loops, Ns = 20 loops, Ip = 5.0 A.
Substitute into equation 2
Is = (10×5.0)/20
Is = 50/20
Is = 2.5 A.
Hence the current in the primary coil = 2.5 A.
The right option is C. 2.5 A
